Response to Technical Comments regarding the paper Direct Detection of Galactic Halo Dark Matter


Abstract in English

We reply to the criticism of Gibson & Flynn and of Graff regarding Direct detection of galactic halo dark matter by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) (Science, Vol. 292, p. 698), which reported on the discovery of a significant population of halo white dwarfs found in our South Galactic Cap survey. None of their arguments against our claims withstand close scrutiny.
